Does Anybody hate the sound of their own voice being played back to them?

This follows on from the thread about looking in your own eyes or those of others.....and that thread also strayed into talk of photos of yourself too.

Personally, I absolutely hate to hear a playback of myself talking.  I sound like a man with a "punchable face" if you know what I mean.

It doesn't ever sound like me.....more like the ass-hat version of me (ie pointless and ridiculous and has no use or purpose.)

I wonder if this is plain old-fashioned self-loathing or whether there is something deeper going on.

I have a recording of myself aged 8 years old......and I sound MUCH nicer then !

Does anyone have firm thoughts on this subject?

  • I hate it!

    The most memorable occasion was at work many years ago. I had to do a speech at a conference and a recording of my rehearsal was played back to me as part of the preparation.

    I didn't think that my local accent was so obvious until I heard that recording. It's not something I'm aware of when I speak but on that recording it was so noticeable and I hated it.
